Thanks for the response John The "ISP" in this case is a non-profit organization that provides access for its members ..... I'm on both the state & federal management committees so I get to mess around with anything that needs doing. The local "POP" runs FreeBSD 4.1 ...... is there something that needs to be configured there to stop this problem happening for other users as well, or is it necessary for the "fix" you suggested to be applied to all FreeBSD client installations ?? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Chen" <jonathan.chen@itouch.co.nz> To: "Doug Young" <dougy@bryden.apana.org.au> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2001 5:18 AM Subject: Re: ppp congestion issue > On Mon, Jan 08, 2001 at 01:04:53PM +1000, Doug Young wrote: > > Are there any unreported issues with user-ppp in 4.2 RELEASE ?? > > > > Since building a 4.2 system I'm getting weirdness where the > > permanent dialup link appears to lock maybe once per day, although it > > doesn't disconnect.
